| - I'll be honest right off the bat and say I have an inherent bias against warmed-up pizza slices. Everything that's good about pizza - the sauciness, the oozing cheese, etc - vanishes once it hits that oven again and the previously delectable foodstuff becomes a dried-up, shriveled-up husk of its former glory.
I was in a hurry and figured I'd give this location of Pizzaiolo a try. Their 'zas, when freshly made, are usually an improvement over your Pizza Pizzas and your Dominos, so I figured a slice from them might not be so bad.
Incorrect, sadly.
I selected a slice of the Sicilian (Bacon (Real Canadian), Red Onions, Sausage (Italian), Mozzarella Cheese and Pizzaiolo Tomato Sauce). The first thing I noticed and what made me immediately regret my choice was that the slice was stiff as a board. It was hot, sure, but the reheating process had sucked all the moisture out of the slice. It was as arid and dry as a nightmarish, punishing desert.
If there was any of the Pizzaiolo Tomato Sauce, I didn't notice it. The sparse cheese didn't help matters, nor did the almost unreasonably thick crust. The toppings were all fine, although there was more onion than anything else. (I think I got maybe two bites with bacon.)
Reheated pizza slices, you truly are the worst.
